Some things just take time...more than I'm willing to admit to myself. Or perhaps I just fail to see how difficult things will be. I dislike missing these beautiful days and I've spent too many lately at my desk or easel working day and night. But I've made some breakthroughs lately too and so I took the day off on Sunday and rode to Melnik with my friend David.

I have to face it, I'm not much of a blogger. I'm busy and quite easily distracted...or maybe I'm just a lousy corespondent, I don't know.
Over the last year I've been busy with a few things that I've not found the time to post here and so I'll begin posting more frequently over the next month to catch up with myself and this blog.

Seeing as I so rarely post wine sketches now it just occurred to me that some people may wonder if I still 'draw inspiration from wine' as stated above. Answer: Yes, every other night!
I'll be posting on new artwork later this week.

I was hoping to post on a new Scottish comic art exhibition taking place in Scotland House in Brussels right now. I was invited to take part and submitted a poster design, more on that later. I still have no info so I'll hold off saying anymore on that right now.

I often find it easier to get started on a big picture if I work on a little picture or doodling first. I'm also feeling a bit bad about not posting more sketches made with wine.
That's why I started this blog, so, I think I'll make a point of working with a bit of wine each morn and load them here in the next few days.

I'm slowly optimising some comics I created for The Prague Post in the mid-90's, they'll be available for the iPad and iPod Touch at some point soon.
The first strip follows the adventures of a taxidermist ex-pat in Prague and might be best described as a 'stream of consciousness' type adventure...that or unbridled lunacy.

A three month wait is fine if that's part of the deal, my beef with WACOM is they continue to advertise the Inkling on their site with a 'buy now' button.
